You're absolutely right, JRK. Bush did all he could with what he was handed. He worked in favor of literacy and improved test scores for minority children; he cleaned up the brownfields in Texas and wherever else they were found around the country by getting businesses to do the cleanups to OSHA specs, and got it done economically.
He was a smart man who was wise enough to listen to industry and see that it self-regulated with follow-ups. The unions didn't want no stinkin' follow-up of their failure schools, but he persevered to the point of giving them the choice--turn the failed schools into positive learning experiences or face forclosure and students dispersed to schools that would provide them the elementals of the 3Rs.
He works behind the scenes and is a doer and a dream-come-truer for more Americans than I can say.
GWB never used the bully pulpit
Saddam had every chance to do the right thing, GWB gave him 18 months, post 9-11
All BHO does is class war fare
No matter what event comes his way, he either uses it to push forward an agenda or attack the GOP, "put them a box" that does nothing for the country
If GWB was that bad, then what is BHO really. Good post
Thanks
Never used the bully pulpit?
How about the blank check he got after 9-11?
That "blank check" added 1 trillion to our debt in 3 years
This included Medicare D and No child left behind
We also had 2 million fewer jobs at the same time (loss of revenue)
President Bush became the first President to spend 3 percent of GDP on federal antipoverty programs. President Obama has already in*creased this spending by 20 percent.
Kind of puts the current presidents performance in perspective
If you look at our constitution and what the presidents role is, defending this country, not sure why that was an issue?
Also those cost as well as the path we took post 9-11 was Bi Partisan as I recall
